Say good bye to python-gammu

python-gammu has been here for more than five years and now it is
gone! Well not really, I only integrated it into regular Gammu
sources, what is anyway logical place where it belongs. Especially when
looking on last releases, which were anyway bound together.

The fact that several past releases have to happen together for both
python-gammu and Gammu is not the only reason for merge. The other two
major reasons are cross-compilation and testing. Besides this, with
merged source, it will be easier for some distributions to deploy newer
Gammu to released products.

For testing I definitely could use some python based test framework, but
I'd like to have all test results in a single place and I didn't find
something what would easily integrate some python test framework with
some dashboard and also would be capable of doing C testing. Also
current CTest/CDash combo used in Gammu really fits my needs for good
overview what is going on in daily tests, so I preferred to stay with
current system.

Cross-compilation support is really missing in distutils and I was using
set of hacks to make it properly produce binaries for Windows on Linux.
With current CMake based setup, all this is just matter of providing
Python instance to use.

On the downside, I can not really drop distutils usage, as they will
still be needed for creating binary installer for Windows, unless I'll
find some clever way how to do this in CMake (which I really doubt).
